MicroVision PicoP head-up display technology arrives in test vehicles

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 09:45 AM PDT

Technology in vehicles have surely come a long way from its early days until now, and we even have some sort of Heads Up Display in BMWs operating for some time already to help the driver keep his or her eyes on the road all the time, while gaining access to vital information at all times without missing a beat. Well, MicroVision might just be in on the next big thing with their PicoP head-up display technology known as PicoHUD, being implemented in test vehicles already.

This move, if it gains traction, might just end up with the commercialization of its PicoHUD technology within a mass production car model – perhaps targeted for introduction three years from now? MicroVision’s contract will see the automotive manufacturer and its Tier 1 supplier work together with MicroVision to roll out advanced HUD prototypes which will feature next-generation PicoP display engine that are based on direct green lasers.

These prototypes were specially developed for installation in early test vehicles, targeting specific upcoming models (boy do we wish we could get hold of such documents!) that are identified already on the automobile manufacturer's production roadmap. Just what does MicroVision's PicoHUD technology opens up? For starters, how about information such as vehicle monitoring, navigation, and radio controls sound to you? All relevant information will be projected directly on the windshield of a vehicle.

The main “engine” of the PicoHUD would be MicroVision's PicoP ultra-miniature laser display technology which is capable of delivering a higher degree of design flexibility and programmability when you compare it against other technologies. The PicoHUD technology will result in head-up displays with industry-leading brightness, where it can be incorporated into just about any vehicle style without being hampered by space constraints.

Just which vehicle manufacturer do you think will be the one who will offer the PicoHUD technology?

Sounds like it is meant for the party animals at college, no?

To explain in further detail, the V-MODA True Blood REVAMP will comprise of aircraft-grade aluminum silver bullet microphone which incidentally, also doubles up as a necklace pendant. It will boast of subtle Japanese symbols of the Tru Blood beverage that is seen on the show, carefully emblazoned on the headphones so that you can be sure those around you know just where your loyalties lie in terms of Emmy award-winning shows.

There is the masterfully tuned 9mm V-MASQUE driver inside that has been verified to strict consistency standards, enabling it to deliver vibrant bass, vivid mids, and vivacious highs. Not only that, the BEATPORT is also capable of delivering a 3D soundstage, letting you feel as though you were there yourself in a live concert.

REVAMP's re-mastered BLISS 2.0 (Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicone) noise-isolating fittings will work great as they have been precisely shaped to create greater sound, stability and comfort across the widest range of folks, so unless you’re an elf from Lothlorien who has unusually large ears, you ought to find the REVAMP to be a perfect fit. Each purchase comes with a two-year V-MODA premier warranty if you’re willing to fork out $120 for this puppy.

LEGO Minifig USB Flash Drive

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 09:15 AM PDT

Love all things LEGO? I am quite sure that you know by now the wonders of LEGO and how it does its job in tickling your imagination. Well, LEGO’s back with a spanking new device for computer geeks – the aptly named LEGO Minifig USB Flash Drive. You would surely place this Minifig in a potentially embarrassing situation, as in order to access data, you will have to pull down his pants. Yes sir, I wonder how many of us have dreamed of going around naked before waking and realizing it was not real. Phew!

This LEGO Minifig will hold 2GB of data inside, and he will play nice with both Mac and PC platforms. Accompanied by a keychain attachment, you can more or less carry around another 2GB of storage space with you – all that convenience will cost you $24.99 though. I am just waiting for someone at Hackaday to take this puppy apart and include a higher capacity chip – if only LEGO would come up with various capacity models.

AppToyz Blaster

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 08:59 AM PDT

The iPhone is one smart device that has its fair share of apps which many folks think it can do just about anything, but what about helping save the earth from the threat of an alien invasion? Sure, we have seen such a scenario unfold many times over in the past on the silver screen, but when you think about it in terms of a mobile perspective, this is where the £19.99 AppToyz Blaster comes in handy.

After all, surely even Steve Jobs would not have envisioned that his iPhone would have ended up as a crosshair cum monitor device that could be fitted onto an alien-blasting rifle. The awesome AppToyz Blaster reverses that trend, and will definitely result in one immersive augmented reality environment, as long as you have an iPhone 3GS or better.

In some ways, those who have played Time Crisis or Virtua Cop in the arcades would have an easier time learning how to best use the AppToyz Blaster, as you can ‘reload’ the rifle simply by tilting it backwards – but do it quickly because aliens are crawling all over the place and they can’t wait to bury you under a hail of gunfire. Angry what? AppToyz Blaster is in!
